The Beast Inside

by Andrew Santarita   Jun 22, 2009


I feel something lurking inside
This beast, this monster
I tend to hide

This wicked creature hides in my shadows
Never coming to the light
A vile animal I know

But we are one and the same
Some days I cant tell us apart
This would drive some people insane

But it's what helps me gone on when I cant
These killer instincts
Help me grow strong like an ant

I walk around with a ten ton chip on my shoulder
And when I can't take another step
This beast lifts the weight of my shoulder

I live everyday with a beast lurking inside of me
No longer will I hide it
I will put it for everyone to see

I'm tired of hiding who I am
Feeling ashamed of what I am
Why should I hide being a wolf, so I can be a lamb
